Mine would most likely be ..... well, why most girls seem to go for the biggest pricks out there. Not just the skankiest of the skanks either. Hell, the guy doesn't even need to be cool. I've seen several cases of this, both through the web and in real life and it just confounds me as to why anyone would be that idiotic.

Another would be the concept of infinity. I always think, if infinity is infinite, how far can you go? I mean, there pretty much HAS to be an end right? So if infinity is constantly growing, then what is outside the growing infinity? Nothing, right? Which brings me to my next part.

The concept of nothing also confounds me. It's a constant conundrum. If nothing exists nothing can't be nothing because nothing is a noun, thus nothing is something. So a person could only come to the conclusion that nothing does not exist, but you can only label a certain few things as "nothing". It is a really hard concept to me.

3. nothing: this concept seem very simple for me. lets say that there are not any things of any kind in a space. well, the empty space is itself something. then, try filling that space completely with water. what is there in that space else than water? nothing! i wanted to say nothing does not freely exist, its found along other stuff
4. sorry for double posting! just forgot the 3rd question

History! I don't get the point... Example: WW2(World War2): Hitler=bad. Many different people=dead. Jews=Not good in the eyes of Germany in WW2. Why=cause Hitler was bad!

Hitler believed that the Americans and the Jews were the cause of the great depression, which affected a lot of Europe, so that's why Hitler went all commando. Hitler wasn't always bad, did you know that he was actually a very fluent and skilled artist before he became a dictator? And that Irwin Rommel was actually a Jr. Cop?
Yeah.

just look outside it! i mean, imagine there are four dimensions. seeing the universe from the 4th dimension wouldn't make it smaller?

that's the thing, if it's infinite, than you CAN'T be outside it, because then you would be past infinity's end, which does not exist.

not actually. a line can be infinite but you can still see it from outside. if you have more dimensions than an object, you still see it and something, even if its infinite. Actually there is a science theory that says there are 4 dimensions, and in the 4 dimension universe there are an infinity of 3 dimension-universes

Never knew that, where did you hear it?

Read Hitchhiker's?

Three dimensions being space, the fourth being time (it is matematical, actually) and the fifth is alternate outcomes/other dimension?

time is not a dimension, it is an an attribute containing one dimension, just as space is an attribute containing three dimensions...or more!

Okay, I said matematical.

Look, one, two, three: Three little sticks to make something three dimensional.
Coordinate System

The fourth dimention is time, which is shown by another axis going out from 0 and out between the other axes in a angle of 45 degrees.

ok i understood the system but here we dont speak about math, this is what you do at school. but if you actually want something mindblowing, click here:

There is also a scientific theory saying that there is a infinit number of dimensions in which each possible result exists. There is a lot of theories, and most of them cannot be proven, and those who can, well we are still waiting.

Infinity and dimensions, different theories for the universe and so on.

@supersmiley: you are retarded

@Cenere: it is true, but knowing there are a finite number of variations (tough the number is still colossal) so a common result may be shared by an infinity of universes.

@supersmiley: you are retarded

@Armorkage: You are flaming. Stop it.

There is so many theories.. One of them is saying that the universe is a hologram...
The only thing we actually know is that the universe is expanding, and that this expanding is accelerating, with means there is two outcomes for the universe: That it will act like a elastic, and implode when it have meet the expanding limit, or rip when it meet the limit.
